Scout Camp Arts & Media, a Halifax-based entertainment group specializing in aerial circus acts, photography and DJ services, has been invited to participate in the Bamboo Bass Festival in the coffee capital of Central America next month.

According to a news release Thursday, seven members of the group are heading to the festival, which starts Feb. 7th. They'll be training with Costa Rican circus troupes, and will perform a pair of free shows in poorer communities around the country.

In order to raise money for the trip, the team is putting on a David Bowie-themed circus show on Feb. 6th at Halifax Circus on Barrington Street. They've also started a GoFundMe page.
